The Cunt From Kent

I won't rehash the Ciggy Busters story, suffice to say, many blog posts were written and many angry letters were sent to the various parties involved.

I emailed This Is Kent and told them of the outrage the Ciggy Busters stunt had caused. I got this response:

Hi John,

I'm the reporter who wrote the article on Thisiskent.co.uk. We are preparing a follow-up and I was wondering if it would be possible to arrange a quick chat. If you let me know your number I can ring you.
Alternatively, my number is ***********.
Thanks,

He also contacted The Big Yin at Freedom 2 Choose, and had an in depth conversation about the erosion of smokers rights. We were promised a follow up story and it looked like it might be a good one.

That was three weeks ago and so far nothing has happened. I have been emailing him last week to ask if he still intends to publish story but I haven't had a response.

I may be wrong in calling him a cunt. It might be that his editor put a stop on the story. I mean who in the MSM prints bad press about anti smokers. That doesn't sell copy! He could have responded to my enquires and explained that though, so I think not. Cunt.

To quote The Yin: "I guess this is a non story now amongst the MSM gliteratti."

But were they ever interested?

probably mean work if they have to follow up an interview the culprits. Notwithstanding that the school gates are most likely welded shut to stop them getting in.

I would suggest that for them, it's all gone off the boil. Not really news any more. If the school has no plans to repeat the stunt in the wake of the backlash, then definitely nothing to see here, move along, please...

Longrider - I would understand that from their point of view. They could at least have the plums to tell us though.

FE - So far, everything Ciggy Buster related has dissappeared. Maybe the school just isnt there anymore.
